<dt><em>Description</em>:</dt>
<dd><p><code>ANY(MASK [, DIM])</code> determines if any of the values in the logical array

<dt><em>Arguments</em>:</dt>
<dd><table>
<tr><td width="15%"><var>MASK</var></td><td width="70%">The type of the argument shall be <code>LOGICAL</code> and
it shall not be scalar.</td></tr>
<tr><td width="15%"><var>DIM</var></td><td width="70%">(Optional) <var>DIM</var> shall be a scalar integer
with a value that lies between one and the rank of <var>MASK</var>.</td></tr>

</dd>
<dt><em>Return value</em>:</dt>
<dd><p><code>ANY(MASK)</code> returns a scalar value of type <code>LOGICAL</code> where
the kind type parameter is the same as the kind type parameter of
<var>MASK</var>.  If <var>DIM</var> is present, then <code>ANY(MASK, DIM)</code> returns
an array with the rank of <var>MASK</var> minus 1.  The shape is determined from
the shape of <var>MASK</var> where the <var>DIM</var> dimension is elided. 
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>(A)</dt>
<dd><p><code>ANY(MASK)</code> is true if any element of <var>MASK</var> is true;
otherwise, it is false.  It also is false if <var>MASK</var> has zero size.
</p></dd>
<dt>(B)</dt>
<dd><p>If the rank of <var>MASK</var> is one, then <code>ANY(MASK,DIM)</code> is equivalent
to <code>ANY(MASK)</code>.  If the rank is greater than one, then <code>ANY(MASK,DIM)</code>
is determined by applying <code>ANY</code> to the array sections.
